Tipperary man joins world's top 100 influencers for highlighting stuttering

Former Templemore town councillor and Mayor of Templemore Michael Ryan has been named among the top 100 influencers  in the world  for his work  with those people  affected by  stuttering. 

Michael Ryan from Whitefield, Templemore, is well-known for his work as an advocate as part of the Stuttering Awareness and Mental Wellbeing Ireland Campaign both locally, nationally and internationally. 

He recently made national headlines when he launched a campaign to meet US President Joe Biden, who has also overcome stuttering, during his visit to Ireland.

Michael, who works at Centenary Templemore, says that he couldn't do this work  without the support of his family and work  colleagues.
